MP criticised for 999 boiler call

Some Tory bureaucrat criticised her; however:
A London Fire Brigade spokeswoman said: "If it's obvious that there has been an ongoing problem with the boiler, then you can call a plumber.
"But if your boiler suddenly starts making strange noises in the middle of the night, call the fire brigade."
Sounds like the Tory is abusing his position to create a political storm in a teacup. Perhaps the "Conservative chairman of London's fire authority" should have asked the Fire Brigade what they thought before opening his big mouth. -
I telephoned my husband who is working in IT Support. He asked if I had tried turning the boiler off and back on again."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Since the fire brigade themselves say that she should have called them, I have less time for the idiot "Conservative chairman of London's fire authority" who has opened his mouth without actually understanding the situation or the expert advice, trying to stir up some degree of political storm. He seems far dizzier than her.Comment

I'm not sure who I would think to ring if I thought my gas boiler was about to explode. I'm pretty sure that 999 would figure in my thought process above trying to find the number of a plumber to ring.
Of course, if there was something really wrong with it, then the operator should have told her to ring a plumber and not informed the fire brigade. The fact that the fire brigade turned up and solved the problem rather than looking and again telling her to call a plumber shows that she did the right thing.Comment

Not as daft as you think. Governments often have a war to boost the economy. How many billions have been pillaged from Iraq?"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
